    Even as an advanced Obsidian user, the focus on refactoring help to bring me back to basics. Thanks Justin.

    Hi, can you access your obsidian notes between devices or each device has its own datas ? I'm wondering cause there is no login and the files are stored locally. Tks

    • @EffectiveCo
      @EffectiveCo  3 місяці тому

      You can sync using a 3rd party solution like iCloud, Git, or Syncthing (Dropbox/Google Drive only work on Android due to iOS restrictions), but the easiest way is to use Obsidian’s sync service. It’s end-to-end encrypted and syncs reliably in my experience.

    Good video thank you. Seems like Obsidian will be great for some people but not me. Sorry to say it, because I get that's it's beautiful, just way way way too complicated. In the future tools like this will just evaluate your text and just work vs. needing markup / refactoring etc.

    • @EffectiveCo

      I’ve gotten feedback that dark mode is hard to see on video, so that’s why. Sorry for blinding you - hopefully you can still see 🙈

    Hey Jason. Like your content.
    Button up your tech, though. I attempted to sign up for your 5 day email course. Nothing happened. Nothing in my inbox, nothing in my spam after 24 hours. I write EECs and this is frustrating as a user. Why should I become a follower when simple tech doesn't work correctly.
    And, I can't find anywhere on any of your landing pages to get in contact with you. How can you provide customer service if you don't provide an easy to find link to send you a private message about my experience?

    • @EffectiveCo

    The graph to me is almost completely unusable because positions of notes change all the time I open it. So sad they dont have an option to turn this off.
